Divergent review

Can’t believe I’ve read it only now. Don’t know what
stopped me but still I read it so I’m ready to express my opinion.

I’m a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y-i-n-l-o-v-e with this book! Haven’t
started reading the second one, but I’m pretty sure I’ll love it. Nicely
depicted the world of the future Chicago – people are divided into five
fractions due to dedication of a particular virtue. The government does
everything possible to make people alike and to think in that way they can be
controlled. Only divergents – people who can decide themselves therefore
government doesn’t control them – are dangerous to the leaders. Once leaders
find out about divergent – he or she will be killed. So it makes life for Tris
– the main character and divergent as well – pretty difficult. On her way
through the whole plot she gains a lot of new features of character, new
friends, new habits, new tattoos and the first love. Tris is lucky enough to
have such a helper like Four – or Tobias. He’s also a divergent and her love.
At the end of the book Tris looses almost whole her family and her brother
Caleb and Four are the only ones she cares for.

Talking about favourite characters I can’t deny that
Four is amazing. He’s smart and strong and helpful and no matter what he has
only 4 fears – pretty spectacular huh? In childhood he suffered from his
father’s abuses and does everything
possible to become a member of another fraction. And he becomes the best.

If you like action, dystopia and well-written love plotline you will love this book because there’s a lot of this. I can’t wait to read the second part – Insurgent.
